My Sony camcorder has started to show what I can only describe as
"stars" on tapes that I record.
They are intermittent dots of light that seem to appear randomly on
playback. I reviewed some tapes from about 6 months ago & no
problem...just occurs on recently recorded tapes. Suggestions?

I recently had noise show up on new recordings (OK on playback of old
tapes). Took it to the Sony Service Center here in Denver. They
replaced a drum, and it works fine now. By the way, Sony Service
Centers have a fixed rate to repair stuff. For camcorders it's $189,
whether all they have to do is clean the heads, or replace them. It
never happened to me, but I know two different people whose cameras Sony
couldn't fix, so they got new cameras out of the deals.

Did you change the brand or type of tape you are using? I had a similar
problem. I would get black streaks when I was filming something with a
bright background. I was using the Sony and Fuji Pro tapes. I tried using
the Sony ME tapes and got the same thing so I tried the Sony MP tapes and
no problem so far. I now pay about $7 for my tapes as opposed to $15. I
guess using the "Best" isn't always the best thing to do.
